"I was at the NLN conference
in Baltimore this past Thursday through Saturday. There were 1,300
nursing faculty attending the conference. Your pocket guide to influenza
vaccine was a big hit. Quite a few faculty said their students do flu
clinics and the cards will be helpful to them as well as faculty who go
with them... I thought I would have about 30-40 Needle Tips left over and
then a couple of people wanted them for all of their students. Just
wanted you to know they were a hit! We appreciate your sending them so
quickly."

issue of Needle Tips. There are some very useful pieces of information in
it. I work as a school nurse and the listing of the vaccine brand
names/manufacturers will be so helpful. As students bring immunization
records, I don't always know which brand names are which immunizations. I
always enjoy reading Needle Tips and the IAC EXPRESS by email is helpful
too."

"Thank you, thank you, thank you... I am a
pediatric nurse practitioner who has been involved in immunization since
1992 and have been searching every resource possible to find a reliable
source to document that we do not give children injections in the gluteus
lateralis. I am a clinical instructor in Peds/OB at a community college
and have tried to convince the instructor that the Pediatrics text she
uses is wrong (it states injections can be given in that spot after 2
years of age). My friend who is a geriatric nurse practitioner knew of my
search and showed me the summer issue of VACCINATE ADULTS!-not only was
the answer I was looking for there, but detailed, easily understood
diagrams and information about the proper way to vaccinate children and
adults. I laminated two copies and will give one to the didactic
instructor so that she and I are not giving students mixed messages and
the students will get the correct answer on the test. The second copy
will be put up at the free clinic where I have volunteered for 10 years
to make sure that all who volunteer to give immunizations know what they
are doing. I am very passionate about having only competent persons
giving immunizations."
